Despite reports that the Phillies were close to an agreement with free-agent reliever Ryan Madson, a source said Wednesday that no such deal is in place. The source also said that the Phillies remain in talks with free-agent closer Jonathan Papelbon. Philadelphia is prepared to fortify their bullpen by either re-signing Madson or signing Papelbon. Madson went 4-2 with a 2.37 ERA and 32 saves in 62 appearances this season. Papelbon went 4-1 with a 2.94 ERA and 31 saves in 63 appearances for the Red Sox.
